Today, there are 55 million Hispanics in the United States, representing 18 percent of the population and spending power of $1.5 trillion. Almost 60 percent of Hispanics are Millennials or younger, and they account for 80 percent of segment growth, making Hispanic shoppers vital for any manufacturer or retailer eager to grow sales and market share, according to new research from data analytics provider IRI.
Sandra Diaz's insight:
Can your challenger brand grow by engaging Hispanics? A recent IRI study confirmed that Hispanics are more likely to go shopping without a list and their product choices are less likely to be driven by habit than non-Hispanics. Plus, Hispanics are also significantly more influenced than non-Hispanics by social media.

Acculturation continues to be contested in our industry. The death of the Spanish language continues to be trumpeted. The need for specific Hispanic marketing efforts has even been called into question with the growing popularity of Total Market...
Sandra Diaz's insight:
This article discusses Digital Reculturation - "... the process of rediscovering one’s culture of origin/identification through digital representations of culture. They are not authentic representations of the culture of origin, but rather a “meme-ified” version. Viewing the "home" culture through a marketing filter makes it more accessible to second-, third-, and fourth-generation Hispanics who may not have a deep understanding of it, but can recall certain key cultural cues. While the meme can be deemed as inauthentic, the connection it invokes can be very real."

Proponents of the approach promised a new, innovative and inclusive approach for reaching The New America. However, despite articles, white papers and presentations, many marketers are still confused about what Total Market strategy is. The truth about Total Market strategy is the elephant in the room: It’s not working.
Sandra Diaz's insight:
Though ‘Total Market’ promises upfront inclusion of the needs of diverse cultural groups, in practice multicultural segments are being addressed via casting and work that is often stereotypical. And many marketers are now realizing that multicultural market share and customer-satisfaction gains made when ethnic agencies were used are evaporating.

For young minorities entering the tech industry, it can be a challenge managing their newfound tech wealth and setting expectations for how much of it they can share with their loved ones.
